<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">There have been two topics discussed on the list recently for which I would like to try to provide some guidance and additional comment:</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> </SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">1) Recording a former AACR2 heading as a variant access point at the time of re-coding to RDA:</SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Please see the <A href="http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/naco/personnamefaq.html#13" target=_blank>Personal Name NARs FAQ #13</A> on the PCC web site for examples.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Please also remember that the NACO principle of <U>not</U> changing a 1XX unless it has a factual error (as opposed to an error in judgment) remains in place. Closing open birth dates has been an exception to this principle, and now with RDA re-coding, other 1XX’s may be candidates for change. But, for example, if an AACR2 1XX is qualified with a subfield $q, or does not include dates in subfield $d, the 1XX does <U>not</U> need to change at the time of re-coding to RDA, unless another required change is being made to the 1XX such as adding Jr., or deleting a "b." or "d." etc.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> </SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt"> </SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoPlainText><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Subfield $2, if coded, should precede subfield $v or a combination of subfield $v + $u ...
